Each nomination shall be approved by the nominee, by the departmental chair, and by the dean of medicine before the Nominating Committee presents the names to the faculty in January.

All recommended committee nominations should seek broad and balanced representation of faculty diversity in gender, ethnicity, academic rank, discipline (both basic science and clinical expertise), and years of service.
